OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOT... Brought to you by:

Jim Lein writes about adventure, life, music, and parenthood and has learned that most good stories don’t begin with, “and then I decided to keep my mouth shut.” His home in the Colorado Rockies serves both as an office and as a base camp for a variety of outdoor and musical activities. He has been published in numerous trade journals, business publications, and lifestyle magazines and is a regular contributor to Funnies Extra!.

too much—like lawyers are sleazy and bankers don’t work long hours. With age—and a career change—I gained self awareness and crafted a few workarounds because it seems diarrhea of the mouth is an incur-able condition. You can only learn to manage the symptoms. I’ve also learned there is no happy medium. If I go to a party and resolve to be the quiet listener, everyone things I’m sick or my dog just died. I’m actually a trained listener and am capable of normal two way interac-tion for brief periods of time. My workaround for social gatherings is to move from group to group and actively engage in the conver-sation. About 5 minutes in, a little bell goes, ‘ding’, in my brain and I know it’s time to move to the next group. I never linger in one place long enough to be found out.

Typically, my loquacity is harm-less albeit sometimes a bit annoy-ing. However, on occasion I watch in horror as my lips start moving. Oh no…what are they going to say? Mercifully, our brains were de-signed to blot out all the most pain-ful experiences. Thus, nearly all of my most embarrassing moments have been erased from memory

OPEN MOUTH, INSERT FOOTby Jim Lien

Someone once said, “I only open my mouth to change feet.” It’s be-

come my life mantra. If I see a guy with one arm I ask him what hap-pened. Most of the time they’re ea-ger to tell you…occasionally not so much. Both reactions usually make good stories.

When I was a kid, I was the guy who sat in the back of the class-room and blurted out smart alec re-marks. I thought myself to be witty and charming while the teachers secretly plotted my demise in the break room. There was an ongoing discussion over baloney sandwiches and reheated tuna casserole as to whether a farming accident could be arranged. After all every small town in Minnesota had a kid or two that had lost an arm or a leg to a grain auger or a Power Take Off.

Limited control of my vocal erup-tions carried into my professional career which was OK because most of it has been spent as a salesman. People expect that sales guys will talk

along with other dreadful recollec-tions such as using the outhouse in the winter when I was a Minnesota farm kid. There is a of course the occasional relapse.

Years ago, I was lapping Chair 1 at my local ski resort with my friend JR. On each ride up, we noticed an older gentleman flying down the bump run under the lift, silver gray hair glinting in the spring sun. He was skiing with a couple of younger guys and matching our pace run for run. “Rip it up, old timer!” I yelled, as he skied below us on our last ride up. He waved in acknowledgement without missing a turn. Après ski in the bar, JR and I were enjoying a brew and reliving the days exploits. The silver haired gent wandered in—recognized us and nodded a greeting.

I raised my beer in a salute. “The way you ski, you give guys like us hope for the future.”

“Thanks,” he said with a smile.

I should have stopped right there but my lips kept moving.

“There are a lot of older skiers here that can still make some good

turns,” I blundered forward. “But you’re still shredding the bumps and the steeps.”

A slight furrow creased his brow. Warning, warning, Will Robinson. “Well, I’m not as old as I look. It’s the hair. I turn 45 next month.”

That made him 6 months younger than me. Check please.

As a story teller, proud of my craft, I’m pretty sure that none of my best tales begin with, “I decided to keep my mouth shut.” I know many peo-ple that have been everywhere, done everything. Hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Piccu. Swam with dolphins in Thailand. Taught farming in Tan-zania. But many keep their stories locked up inside because they don’t know how to tell them. I may talk too much but I also succeed in pull-ing many of those stories out of my tight-lipped friends for everyone to enjoy.

My columns aren’t always about a ‘stick my foot in my mouth’ mo-ment. But most are the product of being both a good talker and a good listener. Time to move on. My socks taste like they need changing.
